As a curvy woman, it isn’t always easy to find attractive clothing that accentuates your curves instead of simply covering them. There are stores in the mall that don’t sell sizes 18 or higher or they sell them, but charge more for larger sizes. Designer, Mychal Word is changing all of that. This owner of Mylan Couture Design is the answer to the curvy girl nightmare.

Mychal loves curves and feels that women should be healthy, but not so weight conscious. He believes that curves are beautiful, and in turn, creates stunning looks for plus sized women.

Check out some of Mychal’s designs below.

Mr. Word is the type of designer who can look at something, visualize it, and then bring it to life. Mychal says, “It takes a certain type of woman to wear my clothing.”

. . .and boy, is he right. It takes a confident and secure woman to rock some of Mychal’s more haute looks, but he also designs evening gowns for formal events.

Mafietta Movement (MM) – Mychal, what inspired you to become a designer?

Mychal Word (MW) – I knew a number of curvy girls who felt some type of way about their weight, but were really beautiful and attractive people – so I began to design and create clothing for the full figured woman and the rest is history.

MM – Can a normal person afford your design originals?

MW – Absolutely, all I need is time and great fabric. I believe beautiful gowns should be affordable and that is why I create mine at a price point that the everyday working lady, Army Wife, or stay at home mom can afford. My designs start around $200.
